You can order an Uber and enter “20, Huimang-daero 659beon-gil, Nam-gu” to find the hotel. Be careful not to confuse this with a similar address that says Buk-gu instead of Nam-gu.
If you take a taxi directly from the station, you can also pay by card. In that case, show the following to the taxi driver:

Additional Information
1. Non-Korean phone companies may charge very high in Korea so it’s often convenient to order a prepaid Korean sim card (which you can get at the airport). Take a look at Klook for example. Another option is to use an e-sim like Mobimatter.
2. Some features of Google Maps are deactivated in Korea. You might find Naver Map or kakaomap (카카오맵) more convenient, even if your language is not Korean.
3. For local transportation you will need a T-money card, although taxis are remarkably cheap in Korea. Check out this link for some more info.
4. The Korean currency is the South Korean won (₩ or KRW). You can avoid currency exchange issues (as well as carrying around cash), by obtaining a digital payments card such as Wise or Revolut.
5. We also recommend installing a translation app in your mobile phone, such as e.g. Google Translate.
